Netflix to fore in this year’s Golden Globes nominations
LOS ANGELES: Hollywood period drama Mank led a list of Golden Globe nominations yesterday that were dominated by Netflix in a reflection of the upheaval wrought by Covid19 on the movie world.

The contest for the best drama movie will also include modern Great Recession saga Nomadland, 1960s Vietnam War protest drama The Trial of the Chicago 7,
#MeToo revenge fantasy Promising Young Woman, and family drama The Father about ageing.
For television, British royal family series
The Crown, whose season focused on the late Princess Diana, led the way with six nods, including best actress in a TV drama for Emma Corrin, who played Diana, followed by quirky smalltown comedy
Schitt's Creek.
Netflix topped film nominations, with 22, and television, with 20. — Reuters
